The slangs used in the movie are now like normal language on the lips of children and even though the movie was not aiming to promote cultism that has become what 60% of viewers now see.
The series has scenes of violence more and so children who watch this movie are now indirectly promoting violence. The languages used in the movie are said to be cultist slang and languages and that is what children are now inclined to.
Questions now are, is the movie of any moral importance to the society or if there is anything positive to gain from the movie after watching. The Port Harcourt-based movie can be said to have impacted the general public more negatively than positive even though the producers do not intend it to be so.
